Method

• Bring a suitable size pot of water to the boil, and add the podded broad beans, cook for 3-5 minutes or until just tender
• Drain and cool immediately in cold water, drain once again and if the beans are large you will need to shell them but removing the outer shell
• Meanwhile place a large frypan onto a moderate heat and add the oil and onion
• Cook the onion for a couple of minutes to soften and sweeten it
• Add the sausage by pulling off little pieces and placing directly into the pan (it will look like little meat balls)
• You want the sausage balls to colour up nicely which will take about 5 minutes, add the garlic and beans, season with salt and freshly ground pepper
• Cook gently so the beans are warmed through, shave a little parmesan cheese over the beans and sausages a little drizzle of extra virgin oil and serve with plenty of fresh bread!
